Default Cleaned the engine bay + TB & iacv...

First off I am kind of mad that the pictures came out as bad as they did. I decided to clean out my iacv, TB, & Map sensor. So I figured I would go ahead and clean the entire engine bay since a year ago was the last time. All I used was car wash soap and hot water along with a cotton t-shirt. Unfortunately one of the Map sensor screw stripped way too easy so I couldn't remove it. These screws are way too maluable.

A couple of pictures before:






Picture of iacv & TB:


After:





The response is much better now and I am happy about a clean engine bay!!

What did you clean the throttle body and map sensor with? Just soap and water?
